Chapter 234: Why Does Your Clothing Have a Fragrance?

~7 min read 1,344 words

Lu Cheng sought Su Feixue's help, also hoping that through Senior Sister he could get in touch with a few Senior Brothers who hold high positions.

Even if just one person is willing to help, getting into the Dang An Guan would be settled.

I didn't expect Su Feixue wouldn't even need to contact anyone; she already knows someone in her own group, and the relationship is as close as it can get.

"Wei Fang's father is the director of the archive management office."

Hearing that, Lu Cheng thought it couldn't be better.

"Senior Sister, it seems I really found the right person; now have her do me a favor."

Su Feixue smiled: "That favor isn't easy to grant. From what I see, she holds a strong prejudice against you, because you constantly bother her."

"Then, you just give her a direct order; you're her superior, she can't disobey you."

Su Feixue helplessly: "What you say sounds easy, but this isn't work; it's your personal matter. Whether someone chooses to help is their own freedom, and I have no right to force them."

Seeing that he had found someone so close, Lu Cheng persisted: "If you say that, I'll just pick her up and take her away."

"Pick her up?"

"Ah, that's Pick‑up Artist. You probably haven't witnessed my charm; once I step in, I can capture her in seconds, and then she'll beg me to go to the Dang An Guan."

Su Feixue could only laugh and cry at that.

"May I ask you a question?"

Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow, and Su Feixue continued: "I just don't get it. You always act so carefree; how did Master take a liking to you?"

Su Feixue really couldn't understand, for example, the Dragon Pendant that Xu Erye loves most; previously several Senior Brothers asked for it, Master was reluctant to give it, yet he gave it to the youngest disciple, Lu Cheng.

Facing Senior Sister's teasing, Lu Cheng was unbothered: "I'll take it as Senior Sister praising my easygoing nature."

Su Feixue helplessly shook her head: "You really are thick‑skinned."

Lu Cheng twirled the knife and fork in his hand: "Actually, Master favors me because I spend a lot of time with him. In the past, when there was nothing to do, I'd accompany him daily for drinks and chat. Now that he's older, he's lost interest in money and material things; he just wants someone to stay with him longer."

"Of course, I'm not saying you're unfilial. You're all very busy; it's normal you can't find time given your hectic work. Even I, now that I have a job, spend less time with Master each month."

Su Feixue nodded: "Now I understand why Master likes you; you're indeed considerate and even speak up for us."

Regarding Lu Cheng's thoughtfulness, Su Feixue truly approves; although he appears carefree on the surface, when it comes to handling matters he's very serious.

Which woman doesn't like a man like that? When faced with difficulties, Lu Cheng often resolves them calmly without a trace.

It makes people feel that staying by his side gives a sense of security.

Su Feixue thought, perhaps that's Lu Cheng's charm: although initially one may resist him, after contact, people unconsciously and willingly do everything for him.

"You don't need to handle the matter of going to the Dang An Guan; I'll speak properly with Wei Fang."

Lu Cheng lifted the bowl of red vegetable soup on the table: "Then I'll replace the wine with soup. Thank you, Senior Sister."

"Don't be so formal; if thanks are due, it should be me thanking you."

"No, no, it should be me thanking you, because I have another matter I'd like to ask you to help with."

"Another matter?" Su Feixue gestured. "Then tell me, if I can help, I'll definitely do my best."

Lu Cheng hesitated instead.

"You don't need to go all out on this; just worry about it a little."

Lu Cheng's matter was about matchmaking for Zhao Jinzhu and Chang Jinbu; when he described their situations, Su Feixue realized that even trying hard might not help.

"You want me to scout for them within the group?"

"Yes, your group has many young women, surely many unmarried, so I'd like you to see if there's a suitable match."

Su Feixue smiled: "You, as a team leader, are really meddlesome; you've taken on the members' marriage affairs, might as well switch to being a matchmaker."

"Ah, it's because Captain Lei treated me well; I've just become a regular and entered university, all thanks to Captain Lei's support."

Su Feixue nodded: "Hmm, it's good you have that intention, but I don't recommend you look within our group."

"Senior Sister, you wouldn't think their personal qualifications are poor, would you? They're Train Police, a secure job, and can even get housing allocations in the future, so the condition is fine."

If their personal qualifications weren't so poor, with such job conditions, people would already be scrambling to act as matchmakers.

Seeing Lu Cheng's misunderstanding, Su Feixue hurriedly explained: "I don't mean that. As you said, you want a more down‑to‑earth girl, but you should know that the young women in our group generally come from good families, were pampered since childhood, and have both high standards and lofty aspirations."

Hearing Su Feixue's tactful words, Lu Cheng understood.

These young women who work in the arts love to dress up; with their monthly salaries of only a few dozen yuan, it's probably not enough for their fashion expenses.

The Beijing Station Broadcaster Jiang Mengmeng is a perfect example; even the shoes on her feet are frequently swapped for new styles, let alone her clothes and cosmetics.

Ordinary men really can't keep such women; if they don't manage well, they'll easily run off with someone else, because you must satisfy both their material and spiritual needs.

"How about this…"

Since Lu Cheng brought it up, Su Feixue still has to handle the matter.

Our group's Cafeteria does have a girl; we could let both sides meet first, though she might be a bit older.

Lu Cheng didn't mind the age: "Being older isn't a problem. It's like Senior Sister is a little over ten years older than me; I'm fine with that. Older people are more caring and more open…"

Seeing Su Feixue furrowing her brows and glaring, Lu Cheng quickly stopped: "Hehe, just kidding, just kidding. Please continue."

Su Feixue brushed her hair: "She's not that much older, about three years older. Her family situation is a bit poor; she's lost her father and has a younger sister and a younger brother."

"Three years older is no problem at all. As the old saying goes, a woman three years older brings a gold brick; that's not much. As for family background, if someone truly comes from an especially good family, their aspirations will be high. I think that's fine."

"Alright, if you think it's feasible, I'll find time to discuss and see if we can arrange a meeting."

Although it was just finding a girl, Lu Cheng was already quite satisfied.

This matter can't be rushed; no matter how good or satisfying others say it is, you still need a Turtle looking at a mung bean first, to see eye to eye.

That night, Lu Cheng lay on the bed and began drafting a plan for the Smuggled Goods sales; after finishing it in a couple of days, he'll hand it to Lei Zhan Ge to get department approval as soon as possible.

When Lin Qingyan returned to her room, it was almost bedtime, so she inevitably needed to change clothes; Lu Cheng instinctively pulled the curtain closed.

Lin Qingyan didn't change clothes first; seeing the casually piled garments by the bedside, she picked them up, intending to soak them in a basin and wash them for Lu Cheng tomorrow.

But as she was about to go out, she suddenly stopped, glancing at one side of the curtain.

"Why does your clothing… have a fragrance?"
